Ranorex Studio licenses are required to create, edit, and maintain automated test cases. Ranorex also offers low-cost runtime floating licenses to execute tests on additional endpoints.

Node-locked licenses are locked to a specific machine. The license is held on that machine and no other machine can use that license.

Floating licenses are held on a license manager, which is typically installed on a central machine reachable via network. Each individual machine connects to that license manager to ask for a license, first-come, first-serve. With a floating license structure, Ranorex Studio can be installed on multiple machines without limitation, and only the accessing concurrent licenses are tracked. For example, if you have 5 licenses on the license manager, than the first 5 machines will get a license, and the 6th machine will get an error that no license is available.
